Jeep Grand Cherokee Maintenance Schedule
Understanding and following a Jeep Grand Cherokee maintenance schedule will help your SUV retain peak performance for as long as possible. Most of the services your Jeep will require over time are routine: oil changes, tire rotations, general inspections, and parts replacements. Knowing when to bring your Grand Cherokee to the shop is important. So, our Harr Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram (CDJR) team has created this helpful rundown.
We’ve laid out exactly what your Grand Cherokee will need and at what mileage it should be executed. Plus, our service shop team near Worcester, Auburn, and Shrewsbury can handle each service.
Every 5,000 to 10,000 Miles
Depending on how hard you push your Grand Cherokee, regular visits to the shop should occur between 5,000 miles and 10,000 miles. If you do a lot of towing or off-roading with the SUV, bringing it in closer to 5,000 miles makes sense. If your typical driving is leisurely commuting and easy trips around town, you can wait until it gets closer to 10,000 miles.
At this point, your Jeep will receive the following routine services:
- Change oil and oil filter
- Rotate the tires
- Inspect battery, CV/Universal joints, exhaust system, and engine air cleaner (if you do regular off-roading)
Every 20,000 Miles
Only a few new services will spring up once you hit the 20,000-mile marker with your Grand Cherokee. Most of these services are preventative measures and general upkeep. The list includes inspecting the brake linings, the front and rear axle fluid, the front suspension, and the tie rods. Also, the air conditioning filter will likely be replaced.
Every 60,000 Miles
As your vehicle begins to climb higher and higher up the mileage ladder, new services will crop up for your Jeep Grand Cherokee. These services are designed to help your Jeep maintain its current state of performance while also ensuring it remains in good health as you move through the next 60,000 miles.
A few important services here include:
- Inspect the transfer case fluid
- Replace the engine air cleaner filter
- Change the front and rear axle fluid (if you do regular off-roading)
Every 100,000 Miles
Once it reaches 100,000 miles, two specific services should be done to your Jeep Grand Cherokee. The first one is to flush and replace the engine coolant. The next is to replace the PCV valve.
Every 150,000 Miles
Lastly, we have the 150,000-mile marker. This is an impressive distance to have traveled in your Jeep and, with a few quick services, you can expect its performance to remain as sharp as ever. A replacement of the accessory drive belt is a must at this point. Also, an inspection and possible replacement of the belt tensioner and pulley will be executed.
